Abrasions

Abrasions are superficial skin wounds that are shallow and do not extend past the epidermal skin barrier. There is usually a small amount of bleeding and discomfort resulting from a abrasion. Most abrasions are minor and can be treated at home with cleaning the wound and keeping it covered.
